All 3 of these designs are again from Elaine P. Gan. And they are all earring patterns
The first is tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Caribbean.
This next one is tatted in size 40 an HDT from Tat-ilicious(from several years back). I had asked her if she could dye a confetti thread(hoping for little spots of all different colors) and this was her thought-pretty colorway, but not what I was thinking. I call it Hippie Summer cuz' it reminds me of blue jeans and peasant tops from the 70's when I was a kid. :) Although not tatted in the same color... this earring goes with this pendant: http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2015/06/another-test-tat-done-today.html
This last one is tatted in size 10 my "HDT" Confetti(I used fabric markers and "dotted" the thread).
Hope you are having a wonderful day and getting a chance to enjoy some tatting!!! :)

All three are lovely :).
These designs are all very pretty! My fave is the "Hippie Summer" :)
Cute HDT idea, too, with the "Confetti". I've never tried fabric markers, so I'm curious as to how the color will hold up.
LOL! Love your "Confetti" HDT!
Thank you all very much!! :)
Marilee, the kind of fabric markers I used can be used on shoes and hats and such and it doesn't say you have to rinse it....but! when "dotting" the thread it took a lot of work and time to get the color into the thread since it doesn't flow freely(just a warning). As for whether or not it will stay when washed, I have no idea. This was "dyed" a couple years ago and use very little so far, but the color in the thread is still good for me. :)
Nice work & very interesting use of fabric markers !
I agree with Marilee Hippie Summer is beautiful and such a catchy name too :)
Elaine is lucky to have you putting in so much work for her!
Great designs from Elaine! I love your confetti. I've thought of using fabric markers for old white sheets that I plan on cutting in to strips and weaving. I'll let you know if I ever get around to it.
So pretty! I love the one in the middle :o)
Thank you everyone!! :)
Diane, I can't wait to see your fabric markered strips and the weaving(which I love your weaving!!)! :)
